Shunsuke Mito, the 21-year-old Japanese right-winger on the roll at Sparta Rotterdam, is showing signs of immense potential amid noticeable areas for improvement. Across the 2023-2024 season, it's clear that Mito’s propensity to be a threat in goal zones is relatively promising; with his metrics in Goal Threat and Goals per 90 ranking in the lofty 51st and 47th percentile, respectively. Moreover, his shot-taking frequency also reached an impressive 61st percentile.
However, Mito’s weaknesses circle around his problem with ball retention, ranking just in the 24th percentile. His ball recovery isn’t much better either, with a position in the mere 25th percentile. Yet, it's his game in chance creation that raises the most eyebrows, being well below par in the 10th percentile. This lack of creativity is underscored by his lowly 9.68 percentile record for assists per 90.
His performance in progressive passing is noteworthy though, with a rank of 59th percentile. Nevertheless, his relatively poor performances as a dribbler, crosser, and carrier of the ball suggest that he might need to fine-tune aspects of his technical game. The data signal that Mito is certainly a player with potential for the future, but his development will hinge on his ability to mitigate these weaknesses in his game.
